Leafs Training Camp Opens

[Kin]

Oddly enough, with Robidas, Lupul and Horton on IR and Greening buried, both CapFriendly and GeneralFanager have them down to a 23 man roster, given that IR doesn't count toward active roster.

General Fanager doesn't have Brown, Hyman or Carrick on the NHL roster.

 

[Kaberle15]

I counted 24:

JVR - Bozak - Marner
Hyman - Matthews - Nylander
Michalek - Kadri - Komarov
Martin - Holland - Brown
Leivo/Laich

Gardiner - Carrick
Rielly - Zaitsev
Corrado - Marincin
Hunwick/Polak

Andersen
Enhorf

Most likelly scenario, someone who is with a minor injury is assigned to the IR for at least 7 days, or Laich is sent down. Otherwise they should put someone on waivers (Leivo)

 

[Tigger]

Enhorf

Beauty. If you remove Laich, that's pretty much the team, around $750k in cap space from what I can tell.

If Hyman or Laich (or any of the other vets) go to the Marlies, they'd have ~$1.4M in cap space, and between $1.08M and $1.15M if it's Brown or Leivo that are AHL bound.

Maybe I missed the Cowen negative cap hit there.

That would cover the difference.

Forward lines at practice today:

Michalek-Kadri-Komarov
JVR-Bozak-Marner
Hyman-Matthews-Nylander
Martin-Holland-Brown

I'd have loved an offensive winger to play with Kadri, but I'm very happy with the way that looks otherwise. Maybe Sosh gets tried there once he gets up to speed.

I too wish there were a bit more offensive punch to that 'top' line. The problem seems to be that, after JvR, everyone with finishing ability is a rookie. Picking PAP up off waivers and dropping Michalek might be a nice solution.

Or even....

 

[Kin]

What's the timeframe on that PAP vs. Michalek chart?

 

[McGarnagle]

Wasn't michalek playing hurt for most of last year?

 

[mr grieves]

What's the timeframe on that PAP vs. Michalek chart?

Just last season. Dialed back to 2014, Michalek doesn't look so terrible, but PAP doesn't look any worse.

Seems a little misleading then. I'd guess if you looked at their careers Michalek probably has a goal scoring edge.

Ahhh, I see now thanks for clarifying.

Leafs send Brooks Laich to the Marlies.

The Griffith pick-up kind of sealed the deal here.

 

[Highlander]

I hope he can Laich on there

I'm still holding out hope that Brown makes the team...not holding my breath though.

Can't imagine they waive Polak, but I didn't think they'd waive Laich either.

It sounds as though Leivo will start on the IR, so they won't need to send anyone else down.

It's possible, but I haven't seen that confirmed anywhere.

We will have in about 34 minutes...

I'm not so sure. Babcock said he's likely to be back on the ice in a day or two. Also, while it's a small amount, it's better for the cap if they send someone down instead.

 

[Kaberle15]

Oficial 23 men roster is announced, as we suspected, Leivo is on ER, they sent Laich down early today, added Griffith from Waivers and released Prust from his PTO.
